1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Medical codes and codelists are essential to identify diseases, medicines, and related events when using electronic healthcare records (EHRs) for research. As multiple codes can be used to define the same medical condition, an inconsistency of applying codes by clinicians or researchers may complicate the identification of diseases. To minimize the inconsistency of codes and increase the comparability of research findings, we sought to integrate all medical codes and codelists generated from existing studies to produce a single list of codes for both chronic bronchitis and emphysema for future research. We systematically reviewed studies, which included codes used to define chronic bronchitis and/or emphysema regardless of code systems. We searched MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, CINAHL, and Global Health from 1
